Nice collection, the National Soda Museum would probably like to get pics or samples ([8D]) of your bottles. What's that one (appears to have it's contents) with the Betty Boop character on it? I remember watching her and 'Pappy' when I was a kid; wish I still had that Pappy 'Spinner cap' I had as a kid.[&:]

Thank you for the nice comments about my bottles. I wish I had more room to display all my ACL those are ones I have just thrown on shelf and not my best ones. I don't even know what I have I buy big lots and cheap lol so they get thrown in storage till I get a place where I can display them.

The holly bottle is a partial fantasy bottle. Now let me explain the holly bottle its self is a real bottle, But the betty boop knockoff was added later. there was a Man by the name I believe was Tom Marsh he made several fantasy bottles. In this case he got a bunch of Youngstown Ohio holly bottles and made them More desirable.
I know he also made a Ted Williams root beer bottle. It has a picture of Ted Williams on it I believe that image was pulled from a sign.
He also did one on a brown bottle that has an old car on it I believe it was called Hudson root beer but not positive about that. there are a lot of collectors from my understanding that didnt like he made these bottles.
True it isn't Real bottle but he did a great job on them and im glad to have it in my collection. i wish we had some more acl collectors on this board but i love to look at all bottles and finds so keep postign them

I'm glad to see alot of you are enjoying the "lowly" ACL. I would love to see a forum dedicated to these mini works of functional art. I am attaching some of the pics of my modest collection. Including some I just dug. Both the dirty (just dug) and the clean were found in a dump on my property. It's hard to believe that the ones on the right looked like the left ones only a few days ago! I have included some others from the site and a picture of ones that I display in my home. Hope yopu enjoy these as much as I do...
